Cooking idea, Kitchen scale, cooking tips No Comments »

Include poultry in your meals often to help stretch your food budget.  Poultry is high in protein and other nutrients, but low in calories and fat. Choose a large chicken or turkey for a greater proportion of meat to bone, and more value for the money.  You can use the leftovers in soups, salads, sandwiches, and casseroles.

Buying chicken for cooked meat in recipes:

Here are some handy rules of thumb to determine how much raw chicken to buy for a given amount of cooked chicken.  Two whole chicken breasts (10 ounces each) yield about 2 cups of cubed or chopped cooked chicken. A 2 1/2 to 3-ound broiler-fryer chicken yields about 2 1/2 cups chopped cooked meat, and a 3 1/2-pound roasting chicken provides about 3 cups cooked meat.

If you came across a recipe that asks for, say using 0.38 g of ammonia, do you know many teaspoons do you need to use?

Well, you do not have to use a scale for this.  Just a tiny pinch of ammonia is sufficient for use in most recipes.
When using measuring spoons, do you need fill the spoon just the rim or until it peaks?

Measuring spoons and cups are important for accurately measuring dry or liquid ingredients.  Unless specified otherwise in a recipe, the correct way to measure dry ingredients is to fill the measuring spoon or cup and then level the surface with a knife.  Don’t press or shake down the ingredients you are measuring.
